I am loving the new figures that are coming out. I am really excited for a Kwinn figure in his classic 1982/83 look. Looks like the skull knecklace is removable. I am also really happy to see and classic Zarana and a Cold Slither Zarana.
I hope Hasbro never stops this line because it looks like that have hit gold. From the articulation to the detail in the weapons it's like the Hot Toys of 1/18 scale.

Until now.

Although I find quite unappealing updates such as Hawk, Rock Viper or Iron Grenadier. They are nice military figures, but they seem to lack some sort of spirit.

I felt the same way about Hawk until I realised that I can use him as an updated/PoC Green Shirt. Now I think the figure is awesome

I spent most of the 80's as a GI Joe collector. They were my favourite toys out of everything I owned. GI Joe was what originally got me into comics and what got me back in to toy collecting as an adult. SO these new figures coming out have me so excited. I can't believe how cool they look and how deep in the mythos they are delving to give us figures like Kwinn.

I am very happy to be a GI Joe fan and collector again. I hope Hasbro can keep this up or atleast the GI Joe club can keep it going during the movieverse

You hit the nail on the head. I loved G.I.Joe as a kid and even though He-Man, Star Wars and Transformers had their place the RAH stood above the the rest in my book. I couldn't get enough and now it seems like Hasbro is putting a lot of time and energy into keeping this line as great as ever.

With the Starscream Sky Striker maybe a Hound Jeep or Prime truck may be in the future.

Yeah, I think you're right on Prime. If they made a current Rolling Thunder and not just a repro of the original one from 1988 then that would be a sight to behold and made up to look like Prime than that would be truely awesome.

GI Joe 2: Cobra Strikes

The sequel is scheduled to start filming on August 1st of this year, tentatively planned for New Orleans. Paramount has it penciled in for an August 12th, 2012 debut at the box office! What a great way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the 3 3/4 toy line

The current title of the sequel is GI Joe 2: Cobra Strikes. I like it! And the script was written by the guys who wrote Zombieland, so that sounds pretty cool to me!

I love the title but I still don't like it that it doesn't sound like it will be a true sequel. I liked the first movie even though a lot of people didn't, but either reboot the series or make a sequel. Based on what I've read, it seems like they're doing a little of both.

I love that we're finally getting the rest of the Dreadnoks! Especially Zandar, who was the first GI Joe figure I ever got as a kid. The Marauders are cool too. I'm surprised they mixed the Marauders figures in with the characters from the movie 3-pack (plus Falcon). Probably figured there'd be too much whining if they made a 7-pack of repaints, even if that's what the original SM was

These 7 packs are quite a bit more impressive than the previous ones. These have a lot of new heads and new parts, so it really feels like the characters and not just quick slap-together frankenstein figures. Granted, the Marauders one is mostly repaints, but they're GOOD repaints that don't stick that close to the originals (and Spirit is WORLDS better with his new look).

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.

Even if she was just a repaint, I find it asinine that Zarana wasn't included in that pack. I passed on her since I'm not currently collecting G.I. Joe & heard that Hasbro is often worse than Mattel when it comes to getting their convention exclusives, but I'd try to get that box set if the entire Zartan family was included.

I know what you mean but I just found plenty of Zaranas on eBay so that is taken care of

They're listed on the main page of BBTS... (can't post a link b/c of Org rules)

$50 for each set (plus $2 for "collector's grade")
$90 for the pair (plus $4 for "collector's grade")

or...

$125 for the pair and both Resolute 7-packs (plus $8 for "collector's grade")

I like getting the three renegades; the rest of that pack out is kind of meh. I was never huge on the mauraders deco, and that still carries on. Sometimes the new sculpts and such change that, but not this time. Now the Noks pack, OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN, I am a happy man.

I believe there was a discussion about future GI Joe and TF cross overs; the Skystriker was hard enough to get the Transformers department to work on and allow. I for dang certain, that I wouldn't hold your breath for anything further.
